The deposits of gold, silver, and other minerals are called mineral deposits
These mineral deposits are naturally occurring accumulations or concentrations of valuable minerals or metals in the Earth's crust. Mineral deposits vary widely in size, shape and composition and they are typically formed through geological processes such as sedimentation, hydrothermal activity, and magmatic intrusions.
Mineral deposits play a crucial role in the global economy as they serve as primary sources for extracting valuable metals and minerals used in various industries, including manufacturing, technology and construction. The exploration and mining of these deposits are essential for meeting the growing demand for these resources.
